What is a good way i could organize my guitar songs?

Question

When i play songs, some of them i can't remember the correct chords to, and i have to go online and find them everytime i want to play it. So i decided to print out all the chords/tabs to my songs. Well i put them in abc order according to their name, but it's a really big stack of papers, and it's not even 1/2 the songs i play, and its kinda annoying to get the whole stack out and sort through it to find a song.
So... my question is, what would be a good way i can organize all of my songs, for easy viewing?
I thought about putting them all in MS Word, which would be fast and easy to bring up, but it would take a long time to put them all on there.

Answer 1

and then find a place where you can put them dont mix them



i'm a bass player and it really helped me a lot when i did that

If they're not already in electronic form, put them into electronic form.... MS Word would be one way to do that. That way you can keep them online or in your computer (backup!), then print out copies as needed.



Since my background is more based around live performances, my first inclination would be to make a setlist.... pick 5 or 6 songs that go well together that you enjoy playing, and focus on those first and foremost. That way you can put all of those songs together, in order, for easy reference.



By that method of organization, you could end up with three or four different "sets" as time goes by.... this prepares you for actual live performance (the key to pulling it off live? learn it so well that you can do it in your sleep!) and focuses your attention on a few songs at a time. When you can make your way through one "set" then you can start thinking about creating another one, ie another 5 or 6 songs - they don't all have to be new, you can mix and match, as long as you keep it interesting and follow a basic overall consistency in terms of mood/feel.



I strongly recommend printing them out and putting them in a binder of some kind, at the very least.



Another thought is to organize your songs in priority categories.... "A" being songs you really like and want to learn right away, "B" songs being songs you like and want to learn soon, and "C" songs that you want to learn at some point in time.



And it helps to practice your material a little more often. =)

Put them in a ring binder notebook with dividers, categorized however you choose.

You could also use several small notebooks of different colors. A blue one for blues, red for rock, black for metal or something like that.



Save a shortcut to the song pages on the sites you use and put them in a "music"

folder on your desktop and also add any word documents as well.



When viewing a word doc or internet page, you can change the font or zoom to make it easier to see.



Last but not least, play your favorite songs repeatedly until you master them.
